Last week I had the opportunity to attend the Air Force Office of Small Business Programs steering committee meeting where Director Joseph McDade shared plans for FY13 and received our feedback from FY12 and your suggestions for moving forward. I felt the meeting was valuable and asked if we could hold the same type of meeting for our members. The answer was YES!
Please join The American Small Business Chamber of Commerce and the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce on December 12, 2012, at 11 a.m., to learn about the Air Force Office of Small Business Programs' strategies to make their FY13 small business goals. Joseph McDade, Director AFOSBP will present. This meeting will also be a forum for you to share your feedback, your experiences, and for you to make any suggestions you have to increase access to Air Force small business contracts.
Hope you can join us!
